DEVOLUTION Strike With Precision On New Single ‘Fear By Design’

Richmond, Virgina.–based modern metal force DEVOLUTION return with their explosive new single Fear By Design, unveiled alongside an official music video that captures the band’s relentless intensity. Blending crushing grooves with sharp melodic hooks, DEVOLUTION deliver a track that is both sonically punishing and thematically charged, reinforcing their presence within the contemporary heavy scene.

Fear By Design surges forward on a foundation of tight, mechanical riffing and thunderous percussion, locking into a groove that feels both calculated and volatile. The vocals cut through with commanding force, shifting seamlessly between aggression and melody, amplifying the song’s tension-filled atmosphere. Precision-driven and unapologetically heavy, the track highlights DEVOLUTION’s ability to fuse modern production clarity with raw, unfiltered impact.

Directed and produced by Scott Hansen and Desiree Hansen, the performance-driven video keeps the spotlight firmly on the band’s commanding delivery. Every frame pulses with energy, capturing the physicality and focus behind each breakdown and chorus. The stripped-back visual approach intensifies the experience, allowing the weight of the performance to take center stage.

With Fear By Design, DEVOLUTION sharpen their modern metal assault into a weapon of precision and power. From Richmond to the global heavy community, the message is clear — this is a band built for impact, and they are only getting heavier.
